Is it permissible for women to pass in front of the people praying in the Haram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman passes in front of me while I am praying alone in the Haram, do I break my prayer?

Answer:
No, do not break your prayer. A woman passing through the Haram is a necessity. Otherwise, if one were to break the prayer in the Haram, no one’s prayer in the Haram would be valid. I mean, women pass through frequently and constantly. So, the religion is easy, and praise be to Allah,
and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficultyوَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ
[Al-Hajj 22:78]
. Yes.
